Distortion?: examine map

RPG Item Descriptions || ACCEPTING

A map?  What do you care for maps?  You are blossoming into existence, the throat of delusion opening into the world, ready to twist it around and around and around until nothing can be believed!

>_ [ PERCEPTION CHECK: FAIL ]

You are focused on the utter ecstasy that is your becoming.  The world will be you, only impossible hallways that run on top of one another!

>_ [ PERCEPTION CHECK: MARGINAL SUCCESS ]

You feel something... someone inside you.  Well that’s just fine; just one last simple victim before you feed on the fears of the entirety of creation!

>_ [ PERCEPTION CHECK: SUCCESS ]

Something is wrong.

You feel your inner mirrors be shattered, doors passed through, hallways navigated.

This human knows the way.

You are supposed to be unknowable, pure delusion, impossible to understand!

>_ examine: MAP

For a moment, while you are still you - which means being nothing and everything - you look at the person inside you, scared and lanky, before a door that opens to your core of ever-changing, nebulous being.  You know he holds a map.

He knows he’s where he’s supposed to be and reaches for the handle.

You see yourself in the map.  You wonder how anyone could obtain this.  How anyone could craft an accurate map.  You yourself would be unable to craft an accurate map because you cannot know yourself, you have no self to know.

A map like this should not exist.

>_ STOP HIM

It is too late.

The human turns your handle, opens that terminal door, and your lack of concrete being is ripped apart and mushed together like clay and identity is thrust upon you.

This is wrong! WRONG! WRONG!

And you feel fear and hurt and anger and betrayal and that is not you! But it is you. But it cannot be.

But it must be.

You have a Self and you HATE IT.
